Today marks the first day of our preparation for our trip to Uthai Thani, Thailand.

 We began with a sharing from Mr Wee to give us more insights and knowledge about the ' Death Railway ' which will be one of the highlights of our trip

  

Some things i have learnt about the ' Death Railway ' also known as the ' Burma Railway '

Length : 415km

Places covered : Built between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma, built by the Empire of Japan in 1943 to support its forces in the Burma campaign of World War II

Dates of operation : 1943-1947 ( Sections to Nam Tok reopened in 1957 )

We then rehearsed our item that will be performed in the hill tribe school we will be visiting on the second day of our trip. Our item is a dance that has dance moves inspired by some local ethnicities. Judging from the pictures, some of us seem completely lost 😂 We still need a lot of practice.
